Psalm 127: Finding and Joining God at Work

This week's sermon brings one of the most searching questions we can ask ourselves: are we building something God actually wants built? Rooted in Psalm 127, we are invited to examine the tension between human effort and divine direction. The psalmist's warning is direct: without God at the foundation, our labor amounts to nothing. But this is not a call to passivity. It is a call to alignment. We explore four areas where this tension shows up most powerfully in our lives: our finances, our longing to see loved ones return to faith, our hopes for our children's futures, and our battles with habits and addiction. In each of these arenas, we are prone to overreach, to grasp for control we do not actually have. The sermon gently but honestly confronts the illusion of control and calls us back to a posture of humility and dependence on God. The result is not a smaller life; rather, it is a life built on ground that actually holds.
